I plan on taking the ArcGIS Desktop Associate Exam in early February 2011. Until then, I’ve devised a plan to prepare for it. I’m sticking to this strict schedule. If everything works out according to plan and I pass, I’ll change the title to this post “How to pass the ArcGIS Desktop Associate Exam” :-).

Third, my ultimate insurance policy, take an online training. I looked around for anyone offering an online training on ArcGIS desktop exam preparation, and I found the Keck & Wood ArcGIS Desktop Exam Prep class.

Why do I call this an insurance policy? Well if you read my blog post comparing GIS certifications, you would learn that if you fail an ESRI Certification Course, you can take it up to three times. However, you will be charged for each subsequent test.

The Keck & Wood class is led by Trip Corbin, who is a certified ArcGIS Desktop Associate, GISP, and an award-winning ESRI instructor. The cost of signing up for the online training is worth the extra confidence that I will have to pass the test the first time, and get this sought after cert as soon as possible.
